I won Mary Cat's PIF contest, so I'm paying it forwards
here are the prompts
10 entries
10 exotic fruits to pick from - reserve your spot, when all ten are gone - THEY ARE GONE
No more than 70 words - make them count
Left align
No end-line rhyme please
please use any other form of poetic device to make it work
here is a link to see the fruits
you can include a picture if you like:

And the fruit's name must appear once in the poem, DO NOT include the FRUIT'S NAME in title
- make it work!
1 = Pepino melon -
2 = Rambutan - TAKEN
3 = guava- TAKEN
4 = tamarillo - TAKEN
5 = jack fruit - TAKEN
6 = mamey sapote - TAKEN
7 = mangosteen - TAKEN
8 = akee - TAKEN
9 = loog than = TAKEN
10 = jujube = TAKEN
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 4, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75
- Final notes: thanks to everyone
many thanks to the winners
I know Elaine's was over the word limit I set, but the sheer poignancy and the clever way she used the fruit's name in her piece made this one the gold
again
thanks to all
Gill

I see that the practice is more common to reserve a spot these days in contests but unfortunately I have a very very very long work day in front of me, so I have to write it now or never.
Good luck to everyone in the comp! Nice idea Gill.

"loog than"? What the hell is a loog than? That sounds like something a Manchester City fan would say after another disastrous meeting with Man U, coupled with the need for several Boddington's to cope. You know, something like:
"Damn thit, I can't the-lieve Man Cithy loog than to f-ing Man U. We thalways loog to Man U. Damn that Becktham, and damn that Alexth Fergoogsoog...."

Oh this is yummy! If I had seen this sooner I'd have definitely taken "ackee" - it being my national dish and all. In fact, a few of those things are more regular than exotic to me.. ah, the taste of the Caribbean.
Best wishes with this one!
